RE: Chewing or Smoking in the woods
its your choice i would say..just like chewing gum, sunflower seeds or anything else... although though i'm not a fan myself, its your personal perogative to support lung/gum cancer through consumption of tobacco products

had 3 doe come under my ladder stand, actually brushing the ladder as they walked, they stopped to sniff the snuff spit, then walked out in front w/out a care in the world

I personally don't smoke or chew, but I would bet every penny in my pocket that there are people of here that smoke and/or chew on the deer stand and wear Scentlok clothing at the same time.

lol retrieverman...i also wizz right out of my tree...right into the bare spot i spit into. before climbing, i kick a patch of leaves away JUST to spit and wizz into. while im head to toe in scentlok.
ive had deer use a "mock scape" made by ME. not worried about urine.
and about chew spit, ive never had a problem with it. had a mature doe with fawns come in and eat DIRECTLY under my tree where i spit for a couple weeks every hunt...and countless deer within feet of it..
i really think deer are spooked by smells they associate with danger...when they start associating my chew spit with danger, i'll chew some fruity flavor or somethin lol...
the only reason i clear the leaves away is so i dont make noise...
just my thoughts on it...and yes, ive had mature PA bucks within bow range of my stand...

Personally, I think all the scent stuff is a bit of a marketing ploy. I've never used it and have had deer within arms reach many times while hunting from the ground.
I did and pee in the woods as well. The only time I use a bottle is when I hunt from a blind with... um... not real accessable windows.
Deer spook to noise and movement in my opinion.
